[htdig-dev] Removing a document from the index

[Neal R. <ne...@ri...>]

Hey,
	Is there a method somewhere to remove a document from an index?

	I though I found on but can't locate it again..

	This will hopefully be a method added to the libhtdig API and is
usefull in the contect of large indexes where rebuilding a huge index to
remove 1 document is inefficient.

	As a note I will try to submit a patch and set of makefiles to do
a native WIN32 port of HtDig & libhtdig this week.

	The way this will work is that using a WIN32 system with cygwin
and MSVC installed, a seperate set of makefiles are used to build a fully
native WIN32 set of binaries (no cygwin dll needed).

	Cygwin is needed since these makefiles use GNU make instead of windows 
make, but MSVC's command line compiler is used.

	A ./configure is not necessary, but a setup script will
replace/modify any the existing db/db_config.h & include/htconfig.h

	Any feedback in how you would like this to work better let me
know!

	There are free native windows compilers out there.. Borland & 
Watcom have them for download.. Watcom's is Open Source as well..

Thanks!
